The Least of These

Tonight for FHE we decided to take it easy and kick-it at home. We told the kids the story of Jesus washing the Apostles feet and then we talked about service. We have been reading in the Book of Mormon about King Benjamin and how he said, 'when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.' After we read, we decided to wash the kids feet and talk about ways that we can serve each other. It was quiet and sweet as the kids sat and let their dad wash their feet and put cream on them. We asked them each how they could serve each other and mom and dad. We talked about how Jesus said, 'if ye love me, keep my commandments' and the best way for them to serve mom and dad is always just to listen. It was a sweet and powerful evening. It was nice to get back to a traditional Family Home Evening after a few weeks of 'other' activities. Logan enjoyed having his feet washed too, but mostly just tried to steal the washcloth away.
